about

Rainy Day is 'after a breakup' song, a ballad that is jazz and blues influenced. It's a "down but not out" song. In the style of Randy Newman. The rain will do the heavy lifting.

lyrics

SOMETIMES IT DOESN’T PAY TO DO YOUR OWN THINKIN’
SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO DO IT ALL FOR FREE BUT WHEN I SAW THAT CLOUDY SKY
IT WAS A SAD RELIEF I SIGHED
‘CAUSE I KNEW THAT SOMETHIN’ SOMEWHERE WAS LOOKIN’ OUT FOR ME
I’M GONNA LET THIS RAINY DAY DO MY CRYIN’
I’M GONNA LET THIS RAINY DAY DO IT ALL
CAN’T THINK ABOUT IT
IT JUST GETS IN THE WAY
SO THIS RAINY DAY IS GONNA DO IT ALL

I HELD YOUR LOVE UP LIKE A CANDLE
I HELD IT NEAR ME LIKE A BEAM
BUT IT STARTED TO GROW DARK
AND I FANNED IT MUCH TOO HARD
NOW RAINDROP SHADOWS FALL DOWN
WHERE A FLICKER USED TO BE
I’M GONNA LET THIS RAINY DAY DO MY CRYIN’
I’M GONNA LET THIS RAINY DAY DO IT ALL
CAN’T THINK ABOUT IT
IT JUST GETS IN THE WAY
SO THIS RAINY DAY IS GONNA DO IT ALL

OVER AND OVER
I TELL MYSELF IT’S NOT OVER
NOT AN ENDING, BUT BEGINNING NOW
WE MAKE IT SOMEHOW
STILL TOGETHER
WHEN THE WEATHER PASSES RIGHT ON BY

SOMETIMES IT DOESN’T PAY TO DO YOUR OWN CRYIN’
SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO DO IT ALL FOR FREE
BUT ANOTHER SUNNY DAY
WILL BE COMIN’ BACK MY WAY
UNTIL THEN I’LL LISTEN TO RAIN FALLIN’ IN THE STREET
I’M GONNA LET THIS RAINY DAY DO MY CRYIN’
I’M GONNA LET THIS RAINY DAY DO IT ALL
CAN’T THINK ABOUT IT
IT JUST GETS IN THE WAY
SO THIS RAINY DAY IS GONNA DO IT ALL
THIS RAINY DAY IS GONNA DO IT ALL
